When the original brand split was in effect (from 2002-2011), the battle for superiority between RAW and Smackdown was something that the company put a fair amount of focus on. For quite some time, Survivor Series played host to a war between RAW and Smackdown.

Recently, the 5-on-5 Elimination Match has truly lost its special aura and is no longer regarded as a big event on the WWE calendar. Last year, it was relegated to the pre-show at Survivor Series, featuring The Dudley Boyz, Goldust, Neville and Titus O’Neill vs The Cosmic Wasteland, The Miz and Bo Dallas.

Not exactly a star-studded line-up, but for this year, a RAW v Smackdown match certainly has a lot of potential. Even if you leave the WWE World Champion and the Universal Champion out of their respective teams, there’s still a lot of ultra-talented guys who could fill out the spots in each team.

Qualifying matches to get into each brand’s team, if they should occur, would only add to the hype surrounding the match, taking up a good chunk of WWE programming and selling it as a huge event. Rollins,Enzo and Big Cass, Rusev and Rich Swann vs Wyatt, Harper, Corbin and The Usos has never sounded more attractive.
